Respiration

Question 1

What is the equation for aerobic respiration

Answer 1

Glucose + oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + water + energy

Question 2

What is respiration

Answer 2

Process of transferring glucose into energy

Question 3

How do organism use the energy from respiration

Answer 3

Build larger molecules (proteins from amino acids)
Muscles to contract (movement)
Maintain body temperature

Question 4

Uses of glucose

Answer 4

Form starch, glycogen (storage in animal cells) and cellulose (cell walls)

Question 5

What is the equation for anaerobic respiration (animals)

Answer 5

glucose -> lactic acid

Question 6

is anaerobic respiration

Answer 6

Breakdown of glucose into lactic acid
Does not release as much energy
Only used in emergencies

Question 7

What is the equation for anaerobic respiration (plants and yeast)

Answer 7

glucose -> Ethanol + carbon dioxide

Question 8

What is fermentation?

Answer 8

Anaerobic respiration in plants to produce ethanol

Question 9

How does exercise impact respiration

Answer 9

Require energy for muscles to contract so more respiration is required to release energy.

Question 10

What does anaerobic respiration lead to

Answer 10

Oxygen debt
This means that the oxygen will react with the lactic acid to produce carbon dioxide and water
Lactic acid is also transported to the liver to be converted abck to glucose
